Visions, Apparitions Alien Visitors
Throughout history there have been reports of contacts with an extraordinary variety of non-human entities. They tell us of meetings with demons, angels, long-dead saints, the Virgin Mary, fairies, spirits of the dead and apparitions of the living. What can we make of such claims? This fascinating and meticulously researched book describes the nature and extent of the enigma and explains why a comparative study offers our best hope of understanding it. Hilary Evans reviews the enormous diversity of sightings, beginning with entities such as dream figures, dopplegangers and UFO occupants. He then considers the ways in which entities have been deliberately induced, ranging from magical rituals and seances to laboratory experiments and the use of hallucinogens. The third part of the book describes the various theoretical approaches to the problem, including Jung's concept of the collective unconscious, the induced dream hypothesis, the psi-substance hypothesis, and the idea of the divided self. Finally, a model is presented that demonstrates how entity sightings may occur.

Seeing Ghosts
Not everyone believes in ghosts, but ghostly encounters have been reported, in all sincerity, all over the world and for 3000 years at least. However, though everybody knows what is meant by seeing a ghost, few are aware that they fall into several distinct types, and seemingly always have.;First there are revenants, returning voluntarily or under duress to the world of the living. When these are recently-dead family or friends, one might well suspect wish fulfillment. Occasionally, though, revenants appear to complete strangers. Next there are haunters who always appear in the same place and may be seen by many people over time, usually people who do not know them - but who sometimes identi...
